In fact, since none of the titles appear under more than one name variant, I expect your initial list to be pretty much entirely accurate. If that's the case, then we're currently at a tie between Dick Wood and Richard S. Wood. I'm currently using "Dick Wood" as the common name, using the larger number of profiles as a tiebreaker, but things will get interesting when a new credit finds it's way into the database...

In that one, he's credited as "Special Effects Coordinator", but there's also a "Special Effects Supervisor", rendering the "Coordinator" invalid (from the rules: "A Special Effects Coordinator can be added & credited when No Special Effects Supervisor is credited anywhere in the credits"). That likely applies to several of the other titles you've listed as well.

Quote:Special Effects Crew (the word crew doesn't make this invalid, does it?

Yeah, well, that's another can of worms... See the last part of my post here, for instance. Basically, it's a mess. As of yet, I have not submitted groups of "special effects crew" or "special effects technicians" since they're not listed as valid labels in the crew credits table. The fact that there's no Jaws 3 doesn't show up in the CLT results for Mr. Wood shows that this seems to be the general understanding. But it sure is extremely messy...

I didn't submit the credit when entering this profile originally for this exact same reason (hence, why he's not listed for any of the profiles). I guess if it's the general understanding as it is now (and that does seem to be the case), we can probably discard that credit for the time being. I guess...

My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Just added Jack the Bear as you were typing. Update your number of valid titles each also.
